Montserrat — font with Kazakh support
Kazakh support
About the font
Montserrat was designed by Argentine type designer Julieta Ulanovsky. According to Google Fonts, she was inspired by old signs and posters in the Montserrat neighbourhood of Buenos Aires and wanted to preserve the urban typography of the first half of the 20th century.
In 2017 the family was redrawn: Regular became lighter and better for longer text, and Ulanovsky’s team added Cyrillic. Today it is a variable font with 9 weights, from Thin 100 to Black 900. We checked the file: all Kazakh letters and the ₸ sign are there.
